Safety Instructions

General Safety Instructions

These must be taken into account each time the appliance is used:

Do not operate the grill in closed and/or habitable spaces, e.g. buildings, tents, caravans, motorhomes or boats. This poses a risk to life due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
CAUTION! Do not use spirits or gasoline to ignite or reignite the flames! Flammable liquids, when poured into the flames, may cause bursts of flames or explosions!
Use only firelighters complying with EN 1860-3!
CAUTION! This grilling appliance becomes very hot and may not be moved during operation!
CAUTION! Keep children and pets at a distance!
DO NOT use it in enclosed spaces!

Please Note: It is recommended that you avoid using liquid BBQ lighters. These can affect the taste of your food, penetrate into the ceramic composite and thereby invalidate the warranty. Please only use solid fire starters that comply with EN 1860-3, such as wood wool or a separate chimney starter. Only place the BBQ meat, fish or vegetables on the grill when the charcoal is covered with a bright white/gray layer of ash.

9. Before Grilling

Cleaning the BBQ Grate

Prior to first use, wash the BBQ grate and the warming grill with warm soapy water.

Pre-Fire

Before you use the charcoal grill for the first time, it needs to be conditioned (pre-fired) for at least 30 minutes at a temperature of 100°C–200°C.

Pre-firing is necessary in order to prepare the inside of the kettle barbecue for barbecuing.

10. Caution: Risk of Burning

The charcoal grill, the charcoal, and the food become hot during use. Any contact can result in serious burns.

Keep sufficient distance from the hot parts, since any contact can lead to severe burns.
Always wear oven or BBQ gloves when grilling.
Use only long-handled utensils with heat-resistant hand grips.
DO NOT wear any clothing with wide sleeves.
Only operate the barbecue with charcoal in accordance with DIN EN 1860-2.
Use only dry lighters or special fluid lighters compliant with EN 1860-3 as firelighters.

11. Operation

1. Open the lid and lift out the BBQ grill grid.
2. Place 2–3 solid fire starters in the middle of the charcoal plate. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
3. Layer approximately 70% of the fire box with charcoal around the firelighters.
4. Open the air inlet of the BBQ body and light the firelighters using a long-stemmed match.
5. WARNING! Avoid letting the flames get too high in order to avoid damaging the lid seal.
6. Insert the BBQ grill grid into the body of the kettle barbecue.

12. Cooling Down the BBQ

1. Close the air controller in the lid and the air inlet on the BBQ body completely after barbecuing, so that the embers extinguish. NEVER EXTINGUISH THE EMBERS WITH WATER.
2. It will take a few hours for the BBQ to completely cool down.

13. Temperature Control

1. Close the lid.
2. Open the air controller in the lid and the air inlet on the BBQ body.
3. Monitor the temperature on the thermometer. As soon as the BBQ temperature approaches the desired level, close the lid’s air controller and the air inlet on the BBQ body in order to maintain this temperature. Leave both completely closed until the cooking temperature has been reached.
4. Then regulate the temperature using the air controller.
5. In order to reduce the temperature drastically, briefly and carefully open the lid.

14. Cleaning

WARNING

Health Risk

* DO NOT use any decolourants or thinners to remove stains. These are harmful to health and may never come into contact with food.

* Risk of Burning
The charcoal grill and the charcoal are very hot even after grilling. Any contact can result in serious burns.

* Allow the charcoal grill to cool down completely before cleaning.

* Only remove the ash when the charcoal has completely burned out.

Risk of Rust

* Your kettle BBQ is designed for outdoor use, bringing the joy of grilling to your backyard or patio. Over time, it is natural for minimal rust to form on certain surfaces of the BBQ due to exposure to the elements.

* To mitigate this, we recommend using a cover when storing your kettle BBQ. The cover acts as a protective shield, safeguarding your BBQ from the effects of weather and preventing unnecessary rusting.

* To ensure the longevity and performance of your barbecue, make it a practice to cover it after each use or when not in active operation. This simple step will contribute to preserving the appearance and functionality of your kettle BBQ, allowing you to enjoy countless delicious meals for years to come.

Risk of Damage

DO NOT use any strong or grinding solvent or abrasive pads, since these can attach to the surfaces and leave behind scrape marks.
Remove the cold ashes.
It is very important that you remove the ash before moisture combines with the cold ash. Ash is saline and, when moist, will attach to the inside of the ash collection tray. Thus, over the course of years, the ash collecting tray can sustain damage through rust.
Remove the BBQ Grill Grid, clean it thoroughly with soapy water, and rinse it down with clean water. Carefully dry off the BBQ
